How to Make Versatile Quinoa Pilaf
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, 2 cups of vegetable broth (or water), 1 cup of canned diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional) and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Serve warm as a side dish, or use as a base for your favorite bowls and salads.
